Under one scenario, the horse is all out. Under the other scenario, the horse is not even close to being all out. It makes a huge difference.

By the way, I saw Smarty Jones train between the Preakness and the Belmont and he didn't look like the same horse. In his morning gallops before the Derby and the Preakness, he couldn't have looked any sharper. He had his neck arched and ears pricked and he looked unbelievable. He didn't look the same way after the Preakness. That race knocked him out.

PUMPKIN!!!


You BOOB!






I have no affinity for Jones...but he didn't exactly get beat by 31 lengths.



Stop trying to predict the outcome of events that have already happened with your clocker like habits and observations.
